Hag Mag is self published annual magazine based in Sydney, Australia. We’re obsessed with the strange, kitschy and obscene musings of hags worldwide, putting together a rancid tome of tragedy, filth and glamour!

The theme of Issue 5 is Feral - capturing the frenetic energy of a post lockdown era, responding to a general sense of cultural fatigue, a rejection of the omnipresence of corporations and a nihilistic dependency on technology. Feral is letting loose, honouring the physical realm, an antidote to doomerism. It’s reclaiming being an outsider, knowing yourself, looking within, clawing your way through life. Feral is communal, being one with nature and with all.

Some of Sydney's most feral freaks are helping us celebrate...
